While I enjoyed this episode a lot, I also had many problems with it...
Left completely uninvestigated (or, at least, not referred to at the end of the show, even a, 'we checked this, and it turned out to be nothing,' is appreciated):
- the sounds picked up by the boom mike, including the one they say they heard that we couldn’t, and the *clear* roar that we could hear (that was a classic, textbook Sasquatch vocalization….maybe a little too perfect, but I digress…)
- the FLIR hits should have been looked at by that zoo docent guy
- the hair tuft gathered from the ‘nest’ (it’s either from the creature who made the nest -- or its dinner, or a fake, of course)
- images from the trap cameras
Half investigated:
- I wish the man from the museum had brought out some chimp and gorilla (heck, even a human one, if he had it) vertebrae to show that the bear one he had was really the most similar to the photos, I don’t want to just take his word for it (wouldn’t it make sense that most large animal vertebrae from the lumbar region are similar?)
- I wish we could have seen the hair in the light of day
I also wish they’d had the parabolic mic with them, and maybe tried some call blasting or wood knocking to see if they’d get a response.
Overall, I found the show interesting, though I’m not sure I buy, for instance, the hair they had analyzed. It looked kinda fake and planted, to me, at least. I mean, it was in a neat clump, hooked around the trunk of a tree. Under what circumstances does hair come off like that when an animal just brushes past? The ‘scratch marks’ were questionable, too, I think they looked more like something was trying to climb the tree than mark it, why were they horizontal (bears, I believe, usually mark vertically and I‘m not sure I‘ve heard of primates marking trees like that at all, I think they generally have more like fingernails than claws, not strong enough to do that)?

They're not the first ones to find hair of an unknown primate species. Nowadays, it's just not enough evidence, no one is going to pay attention to hair.

The way the hair was found made all the difference for me it was all the proof I needed and never thought would surface as far as an experience I had in 2011 in the high desert of Arizona.. I had camped there in complete wilderness there was mostly scrub, few small cacti, pines, junipers.. at any rate it was still cold barely spring but I woke in the morning and found one solitary white flower near a cliff wall which had the oddest perfect curl of red hair located directly at it's base. The strange thing is that I had been there out of severe depression, basically hoping for death by starvation, but that first night I could swear I could not only hear but vividly pictures appeared in my mind of 'bigfoots' across the ravine/cliff, friendly curious ones.. and there were humans telling them to lay back and let me be ..and these humans were probably once zoo keepers or similar.. maybe not on earth anymore as we are.. and a "mother nature" giant mystical lady like out of a fairytale, had tested my body and mind by twirling me physically around a rock I had laid close too but near the edge of a cliff. I refused to budge and that seemed to answer her question about my resolve. There was even an echo of an early man or native who had a sort of squat dinosaur that was much like a dog or companion and he shot a ghost arrow at me laying on the ground. The sasquatch/primates were not all nice. I had messages actually voiced in my mind which spoke quite friendly and told me not to worry about that 'squashy' although he sounded horrifying and violent and it actually had some other creature which was it's companion also. The other's if not all squashies could only be seen at certain times if your eyes were closed and it seemed as if it was mercurial with silver overlays and they seamlessly meshed with trees. This location was possibly near that one which involved the "fire in the sky" true story. There was a cloud which appeared that was a skull with one eyeball trained at myself. It didn't look as one it w a s one. I had on me a newtimes paper which cover was Day of the Dead which it was indeed. This was Pinetop Az. I had to delete a book's worth of this experience and end here.
